In 2017, The team at Red Sun began a program to promote healthy lifestyles in the workplace, by providing produce boxes for their employees for the mere cost of five dollars per box. The large boxes would contain ample amounts of fresh quality vegetables, straight from the Red Sun Greenhouses, and as an added incentive all the money collected from the produce box purchases would be donated to the Make-A-Wish Southwestern Ontario. This organization is a non-profit that grants the wishes of children living with critical illnesses.

Upon hearing the team’s plan Red Sun Farms President Jim DiMenna decided to sweeten the deal by matching every dollar raised in support of the initiative.

Last year Jim and the team at Red Sun Farms raised and donated $5,720 dollars.

This year the team are excited to announce a donation in the amount of $9,770 to Make-A-Wish Southwestern Ontario

“I am so proud of our team,” states Jim DiMenna, “Make-A-Wish Southwestern Ontario is such a great organization, and for our staff to beat last year’s total, by such a large amount, is truly amazing.”
